Hmmmm.....

Is it true that Amiri Flight Operations have been de-linked from mainline and that the Dewan is now once again actively managing its own flights, i.e. the way it was in the old days, albeit without BA's involvement? The rumour I heard is that certain high ranking officials are not at all enamoured with the Amiri Flight's increasing tendency to be staffed with individuals solely from a certain part of the world and, despite repeated requests which were never acted on by 9th floor, it became increasingly normal for Amiri 1 to be crewed in a similar manner to QR001 or QR232 operations. (No disrespect whatsoever to anyone).

As such, Dewan not at all happy and is now battling to have VIP-savvy crew back on-line, hence the divorcing of Amiri from Mainline.

Edit note: Sorry, folks. I posted under this particular thread title as I am also reliably advised that the consequence of no action being taken may well be the same outcome as the title of this thread.
